The wines of Valais

Valais is the main wine growing area in Switzerland. With a dry, warm climate, much sun and wide soil diversity, our wines gain complex and original characters.

With 5,042 hectares and over 50 varieties of grapes, our county produces 40% of Switzerland's wine. The countryside is packed with vines. Small pieces of land and terraces are more common than large areas held by one owner, which makes the wine maker's task more difficult.
